Then how do we know they're here? Not all of us live in major cities.

Oh no, I believe life could exist elsewhere..it's just statistically more likely to be simple life (prokaryotic) than advanced. Eukaryotic life could exist but even then it is probably not as advanced as ours. I am not suggesting that we are the pinnacle of existence, besides in the cosmic scale we are a very young civilization and have only been around for a very short time, so there could be an older civilization out there, watching and waiting. It's just that, we have no proof of it. So my personal opinion is, that while advanced life could exist I believe us to be alone..till we can prove otherwise.Kris015 said:So you believe humans are the center of the universe...?Kaboose the Moose said:Personally I don't believe in intelligent extra-terrestrial life but if they are real..
Dude, do you know how big the freaking universe is? I know i can't prove anything but i am 99.9% sure that there are other beings here than us.
I mean, why the hell wouldn't there be?
Sorry if I sound harsh, I just don't get why you wouldn't, I just wanna know why you don't.
The obvious flaw with the Drake equation is that you can not quantitatively estimate all the terms in the equation. All of them are guess and when you multiply all your guesses together, your answer is just one.big.guess. The other major flaw is that the Drake equation assumes that every civilization follows a rise and fall scenario (a civ would arise and then die out within their original solar systems) BUT if a civilization advances to a point where they can adopt interstellar travel then that assumption no longer holds true. You would no longer have a static population locked in a cycle but a dynamic population that moves about to a greater extent (sort of how STDs spread about to a greater effect in Europe after the invention of the bicycle). This means that the Drake equation cannot predict P(sub i) for an advanced civ.summerof2010 said:*snip*
